first-class sailor, was intimate with Spen-
Ger, had been heard to curse the captain
and the ship, aside, was believed to have
been a SLAYER or u pirate before, and the
captain got it into his head that he was
the. soul of the mutiny and Spencer his
tool. tliN
Spencer asked for more time to pre-.
pare for death, and, this denied, begged
to be shot. The taunting of the dying
man with which Mackenzie was charged
was in saying to him when he begged for
time and life that IF he was taken home
his fathers political Influence would save
him, and therefore it was better to hang
him now" Mackenzie explained to the
court-martial that he simply said to him
that 'his father would be better served
If he was now hanged instead Of being
brought home"-a distinction hard to
understand. The men, were hanged in
irons. Caps we're drawn over their eyes.
None showed signs of weakness when
the time arrived. Two whips were rugged

cheers for the flag, which the cowed
crew gave with a will. and were then
piped down to dinner. The bodies swung
aloft for an hour and were then lowered
and buried at sundown. The remains of
Cromwell and Small were sewed i'm their
hammocks with shot at their feet. A

1t does mean unity in spirit and effort.
The distinctive tenets of the denomina-
tions are not far less discussed in their
pulpits than they were % years ago; and
the tendency of Christians toward unity
is unmistakable. As u striking illustra
action taken by the bishops of the Episco-
pal church at their convention in Chicago
He read from their declaration in favor of
Christian unity and expressed the hope
that the Congregational churches of Yer
mont would meet their action in the same
spirit of fairness and with the same desire
for unity.
The missionary spirit is one of the most
encouraging sign of the times. Not only
is church deficient that has not this
spirit but Christian without it can hard
ly be called a Christian. BY the grace of
God the world has been opened for
missionary work during the past
ians have been stirred up to seize their
opportunity. We are living in good
time 1t is a time when new truths are
breaking out of Gods word, and are still
to break out of it. 1t is a privilege to
live in such time as this. These oppor-
tunites are testing us and enabling us to
show of what stuff we are made.
When Dante and his companion moved

spirits knew that they were living men

which the above is a very imperfect re-
port though not written, were expressed
with great felicity and force, embodied
much striking and useful suggestion, and
held the closest attention of the audience.

GAUDAUR THE CHAMPION
He Beats Hanlan and Breaks the Best
previous Record.

previous Record.
CHICAGO, May 30-The clouds were
leaden this afternoon and the water on
Calumet course little rough but Hanlan
and Gaudaur started promptly in the
three mile race for $4,000 and the cham
plonship of America. Hanlan was at once
trihe in the lead, pulling a short quick
stroke AZ to the minute. Gaudaur kept
close to him with a long steady sweep
about 3S to the minute Gradually Han
Ian forged ahead and at the. end of the
first mile was fully boats length in ad
vance. Great were the expectations of
Hanlans friends to see him nearing the
turn clearly ahead of Gaudaur and gain
ing all the time. At this time the wind sud
denly freshened, the large drops of rain
began falling, the lake soon became lumpy
from end to end and the downpour was
almost binding. Hanlan turned first
two lengths ahead, time 1909, and was
pulling about IS strokes minute
and rounding to. Gaudaur struck
about the same gait as Hanlau. He kept
well to the front until entering the third
mile. There Hanlan commenced TO flag
and he pulled with such exertion many
believed the boat was leaking or had
shipped choppy sea.
Gaudaur was rowing magniiicently and
showed the same long, steady sweep he
had taken at the outset, but faster. With
machine like precision he passed poor
struggling Hanlan. A boats length OF
water between them could be seen, then
another. Hanlan spulted and closed
up the gap, but could not keep the
pace and again Gaudaur's great sweeI
began to tell Hanlan turned second
and saw himself irretrievably beaten
Gaudaur was six lengths to the fore.
Seeing Hanlan surrender all hope eau
daur magnanimously sackened speed anC
passed the stand an easy winner by fou
lengths, time 1880.

A NEW

Communication Maintained with
Fifty Rooms at One Time.
Pittsburg Times: Elias Becker, ~jani.or
Of the United Evangelical Protestant
Church, has invented a speaking tube that
is q novelty in its way. The tube is spe-
cially adapted to schools, hotels and large
shops or factories where there are . num-
Der of rooms. The advantages presented
are that one tube accomplishes the same
purpose as a dozen or fifty in q large build.
ing, and that communication may be
maintained with one apartment, or with
fifty in as many rooms at once.
A disk containing as many ~orifces equal
in size to the main tube as there are rooms
to be communicated with Is placed near
the ceiling Of any apartments beneath the
rooms to be communicated with. A separ-
ate tube, very short, projecting from the
main tube, is fixed at an angle which
brings the mouth Of the short arm over
any Of, say six oriices, in the disk placed
in the sweep of the short.arm tube. The
main tube ~revolves easily. II room No.
/ Is desired, the main tube ia turned to
that number and communication is estab-
lished. In this way any of q dozen rooms
on one floor is within call, simply by turn
lDS tu0 I6FOlfiuS oEm W tuo uuMpcI re-
q uired.
The idea originally waslto do away with
q multitude of tubes, and in this the in
vention has succeeded. But the peculiar
feature of the revolving tube is the means
employed to comunicste with all the rooms
in q building ct y time. An air cham
Der over the arm and the lower side of the
| disk. inclosing the short arm tube that
moves directly from one orifce to another,
retains all the sound, and transmits II
through all the o~riioes simultaneously,
simply by moving the revolving arm TO a
depression in the disk which permits the
sound to escape. The sound sscends then
through all the orifces, and is heard with
equal distinctness In every part Of the
building.
Mr.. Becker's invention Is employed in
the Third Ward public school building.
In every other respect the mouthpieces
and other details are similar to the ordi-
nary tubes. The device is re.enforced with
alarm signals, which are excellent i'm
provements in themselves.

At a convention Of the United Order

At a convention of the United Order
of Mechanics held in Erie. Pa, recently
it was resolved that a memorial be pre-.
sented to Congress asking that q per
capita tax be imposed on foreign immi.
grants, that pauper immigrants be abso-
lutely prohibited from landing and that
foreign born residents be required to
show that they have been 81 years
citizens before being regarded as eligible
to office. Some of these demands are
pretty radical, says the Virginia Chron.
icle, but they are significant in showing
how strong and rapidly the sentiment
against unrestricted immigration is grow
